  Orchard blossom

  15 Abr – 20 Mai · normalmenteFlores silvestres e floradas

  The benches above the lake go white and pink for a few weeks as the cherries and apples come out, ahead of the vines. A late frost in this window is what decides whether there is any fruit in July. Fonte ↗

  Okanagan Lake swimming season

  The lake takes until late June to warm up and holds it into early September, which is exactly when the city fills with people from Vancouver and Calgary. Beach parking downtown is gone by ten.

• Natureza

  Cherry and stone fruit harvest

  1 Jul – 10 Set · normalmente

  Cherries first in July, then peaches and apricots through August at the roadside stands on the way out to Kelowna's east bench. Late-season Lapins and Staccatos are the reason the valley exports in August rather than June. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Canada Day

  1 JulFeriado nacionalFechamentosLotado

  1 July is a statutory holiday across the country, moved to 2 July when it falls on a Sunday. Banks, government offices and many shops close, towns put on daytime concerts and parades with fireworks after dark, and hotels and ferries fill when it makes a long weekend. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Wildfire smoke season

  10 Jul – 15 Set · normalmente

  The Okanagan is one of the driest, most fire-prone valleys in Canada, and smoke from interior fires — some of them on the hills above the city — can sit in it for a week at a time. Evacuation alerts in the hillside suburbs are not unusual. Fonte ↗

  Wine harvest

  5 Set – 31 Out · normalmenteReserve cedo

  Picking and crush run through September and October and the wineries along the Naramata and Lakeshore roads are working rather than posing, which is the better time to visit them. Tasting rooms shorten their hours from November. Fonte ↗

Movimentado — Big White ski season

• Temporada

  Valley inversion fog

  15 Nov – 31 Jan · normalmenteTemporada de neblinaRisco

  Cold air pools on the lake and the whole floor of the valley greys over for days, which delays flights into the small airport more than any other weather here. Drive up to the ski hill and you come out into sun.

• Abertura

  Big White ski season

  26 Nov – 4 Abr · normalmenteLotado

  An hour up the hill from the airport, opening around American Thanksgiving and running to early April, with the snow-ghost trees that the place is known for. The mountain sits above the valley cloud more often than not. Fonte ↗

Lotação máxima — Big White ski season, Christmas Day closures

• Feriado

  Christmas Day closures

  24 Dez – 1 JanNatal e Ano-NovoFechamentos

  Christmas Day is a statutory holiday nationwide: most shops, museums and many restaurants close and transit runs a holiday schedule. Boxing Day brings sales crowds to the malls where it is kept, and 1 January is another quiet, mostly closed day. Fonte ↗
